If sleep disturbances, colic or feeding difficulties are making your lives as a new parent difficult and you have been unable to find the help and support you need to ease these uncomfortable stresses on both you and your baby, then cranial osteopathy could be the solution. If you have never considered using a cranial osteopath to treat your baby then let me reassure you that it is perfectly safe and can be very effective in resolving some of these aforementioned issues.
Cranial osteopathy is a subtle and refined kind of osteopathic treatment which encourages the release of stresses and tensions throughout the body, including the head. It is a gentle yet effective treatment that can be used on all people from birth to old age.
Birth is one of the most stressful events we experience in our lives, a baby's body is subjected to immense pressure and strain as it passes through the birth canal. The soft bones in a baby's head will bend and warp to reduce these stresses but many babies are born with an odd shaped head as a result of the birthing process. This can cause many uncomfortable stresses within the head and body.
Cranial osteopathy can help alleviate some of the stresses and strains caused by the birthing process. For example some babies may cry irritably because they feel pressure in the head, which is exacerbated by lying down, others may have feeding difficulties because of mechanical stresses through the head, face and throat.
A cranial osteopath will apply specific, light pressure where necessary to aid the body's natural ability to release tension and stress. The baby is often very relaxed after the treatment and usually sleeps well - which may come as a welcome relief to the sleep starved parents!
If you are worried about your baby being disturbed, uncomfortable or irritable, especially at night or when feeding, it is definitely worth you contacting an osteopathic practice which specialises in cranial osteopathy, as they may well hold the key to restful sleep for you, your baby and your entire household.
